A Peloton of One

Steven E. Mallorca, John C. Bernardo

Follows a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Dave Ohlmuller, as he conducts a solo bicycle ride from Chicago to New York to raise awareness of this scourge. Along this 700-mile journey, Dave meets other survivors abused by coaches, teachers, family members, and, like Dave himself, Catholic priests. Through these interactions and common stories, Dave tries to find a way to connect and heal, mile by mile, as he heads east towards his hometown.
